For the baby who liked to travel in style—by land and sea.
It’s a beautiful example of Victorian ingenuity, personal craftsmanship, and the tendency of proud parents to go slightly overboard.

✨ Physics & Glass ✨
Now on at the Whipple Museum, Physics & Glass is a tribute to the art of the scientific glassblower. Glass has been one of the most important materials in the history of physics, and this display highlights some of the most intricate pieces in the Whipple’s collection.

Sometimes, the Moon passes directly in front of the beautiful Pleiades star cluster in a celestial event called an occultation! This composite image from Spain captures the Moon's visit. These monthly occultations last until 2029, then not again until 2042!
